Community Right to Challenge

Mote Park Closures

The Play Area and Skate Park are now closed for refurbishment until March 2019. Please visit this page for more information. Click here for more information on our Parks and Open Spaces.

The Community Right to Challenge enables voluntary and community groups, parish councils, and employees of a local authority to submit expressions of interest to the council to take over the running of council services, either across the borough or in particular areas.

Where an expression of interest is accepted, you and the other bidders are invited to submit a tender for the specified services.

In order for an expression of interest to be accepted, it must include certain information. Everything we need can be found in our expression of interest application form.

Before submitting an expression of interest form, you should take a look at our commissioning calendar which specifies periods during which expressions of interest for different services will be considered.
